The Dallas Mavericks center passed the NBA concussion test, allowing him to play. However, Kaman is still suffering from headaches.

The Mavericks hope an extra week off thanks to the NBA All-Star break will help.

Kaman, 30, averages 12.4 points and 6.2 rebounds this season for the Mavericks, after signing with Dallas as a free agent before the season.

He played for the Chippewas from 2000 through 2003 and was the sixth pick overall by the Los Angeles Clippers in the 2003 draft.

dallasnews.com: When asked if he expects Kaman to be available next week when the Mavericks return to action Wednesday against Orlando, coach Rick Carlisle said: “I hope that he is. The fact that this is an extended break gives that a possibility. But I have no authority to comment on his medical situation, other than I talked to him today and he’s just not there yet. There still are things that are going to prevent him from being on the court. I think this break comes at a good time for him.”
